You can use -v -v -v and then set debug messages within the plugin so  
that you get more data, but that is sent to stdout, not to a file.

If you doing anything within the perl script, you probably should use  
the perl debugger - here's a quick guide I found on the net: http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Perl/Using-The-Perl-Debugger/

It is one of the best parts of perl...
